How to fix the error "Invalid type definition: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'name')"?

[Vrinda R]

Hi,

While building blink code on the NRF5340DK, I get an error "Invalid type definition: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'name')" like this in visual studio.

Could you please help me to resolve this?

Thank you

Hi,

Showing the same error.

I am using SDK version 2.3.0.

Hi,

How can I reproduce this error?

[Vrinda R]

Hi,

When using SDK version 2.2.0  didn't get this error.

Is there a specific sample that triggers this error?

Do you get any compilation/build errors?

[Vrinda R]

When building each sample code (Blink, Hello World, PeripheralLBS) with SDK v2.3.0, I get the error "Invalid type definition: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'name')". Then I change the SDK version to v2.2.0 and then the error disappears.

I also see this error when building the nrf5340 Audio app.
